The Kerala government launched a software application,K-Swift to ensure clearance to investment proposals within 30 days of the application.

The CM urged the officers to change their attitude towards entrepreneurs.”The 30 day time limit, which is applicable from village to secretariat level, may be reduced to even 15 days in future. You should not have the wrong belief that advent of industries means exploitation of people.Kerala’s economy has been consumerist where lots of products have buyers, but not much of production is happening in the state. This has to change. We have to increase MSMEs (micro, small, medium enterprises) in the state. Through them, the government aims to provide jobs to around 50,000 people this year,” Pinarayi said.
